Letters to the Editor

Our cats don’t fight like animals. They don’t even fight like people. When Moe and Chloe are irritated at each other they sit about six inches apart, close their eyes and turn their heads away, then slap each other with their paws until one of them falls over. I think they’re … Continue Reading →

Our downstairs neighbor Nadine, the one who got the lesser brunt of sewage, hasn’t been able to stay at her home for the past few days. The cleaners came by and ripped up her carpet, and part of her floor, then sanitized her bathroom. We offered to babysit her kitten for her … Continue Reading →

Does anyone else think the giant navel gemstone that Kimberly Caldwell wears makes her look like a troll doll? Maybe it’s just the glare from the lights that makes the gem look like it takes up her entire navel. Either way, I can’t look at her without seeing those things. ~:) … Continue Reading →

Just a note to all of those people out there who are admitted lairs. Keep your stories straight from person to person, especially if they all belong to the same group of friends. Also, if you’re faking a pregnancy, do know how many weeks along you are.
